15 minutes
Death on the F

He said I’m so hungry
And thirsty and tired
Don’t mind going to jail
(Three hots and a cot)
Don’t care if I die
I’m so fed up
And so so tired
I’m ready to die

15 minutes
Death on the F

And he loved to dance in a Michael Jackson Style
And he loved everybody and he loved to make folks smile
And since his mama passed away he ain’t been right for a while

15 minutes
Death on the F

Tell me
why is a man crying hungry on the subway
in the greatest country in the world
why is a man crying help me on the subway
in the greatest country in the world
why is a man choked out dead on the subway
in the greatest country in the world
why can you die for being Black and hungry
in the greatest country in the world

15 minutes
Death on the F

Jordan Neely choked out dead for calling out about his hurt
Jordan Neely dead cos people there got fed up with his hurt
Jordan Neely choked out dead by 3 while many more cheered them on
Jordan Neely Black and hungry,
Jordan Neely gone

Was there no one there with a lunch to share?
Was there no one there with a kindly ear?
Was there no one there with eyes to see
That Jordan Neely could be you or me?

15 minutes
Death on the F

Say his name Jordan Neely (do we fear for our lives?)
Say his name Jordan Neely (do we fear for our wives?)
Say his name Jordan Neely (do we fear a Black man’s cries)
Say his name Jordan Neely (soldiers choked him till he dies)

15 minutes
Death on the F

And he loved to dance in a Michael Jackson Style
And he loved everybody and he loved to make folks smile
And since his mama passed away he ain’t been right for a while

15 minutes
